Germany's new energy minister has stood by plans to accelerate the construction of new hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plants. This move is in line with efforts to transition towards cleaner energy sources and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. The European Clean Hydrogen Alliance has specifically called on the German government to formulate a comprehensive offshore strategy to harness the potential of hydrogen production from renewable sources. Additionally, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has advised Germany to implement further initiatives to stimulate the demand for hydrogen within the country. These developments signal a proactive approach by Germany towards embracing hydrogen as a key element in its energy transition strategy, despite some political resistance in the EU and challenges related to nuclear energy.
